The news is reporting that
Legionnaires' disease has been found at the Playboy Mansion. I'm thinking that if the L.A county health department looked a little harder, they might be able to find and identify a few more "Speciality" diseases and some of which would curl the hair of a Legionnaire or at the very least - make him blush, though I seriously doubt that a little disease here or there will stop the kind of people who frequent the playboy mansion from doing so.
Can you imagine for a moment, if you were a platonic guest and were invited to the mansion, would you actually eat any of the food?! You wouldn't really know where anyone's hands have been and although my same food theory applies to pretty much every restaurant - everywhere, you can bet no one is having sex on the tables at Wendy's and I know this because the fry cooks always look cranky and even though he has the appearance of a parolee on furlough, perhaps I've mistaken his demeanor as dangerous when in actuality it was simply sexual frustration.
And speaking of Charlie Sheen, two months ago I got into a discussion argument with a family member about him. I would like to say -first off, that I don't think it's right to delight or take pleasure in another persons sins and even though I've enjoyed the Charlie Sheen jokes as much as everyone else has, I'm over them and they've become passe' and to be honest I feel bad for having found them funny in the first place. Especially when I consider that he has spawned fathered five beautiful children.
(Please God, bless and protect those kids!)

I went on to argue with my _______ and said that I feel nothing but compassion and sadness for Charlie and his family, especially since Charlie doesn't, "Get it." I don't think I'm any better than Mr.Sheen as I've not been able to conquer some of my sins either and though I'm not at the stage of embracing them anymore, I have been working on the same ones and some of them for decades. When it might seem as though I've beaten one back then another sin steps up to take it's place within me. The thing that I understand which Charlie and so many other addicted people don't, is that it's through Christ alone, by his grace - which strengthens us to overcome our sins and to heal. Christ can't heal what we refuse to recognize and without Christ, these situations are hopeless and will remain so - without exception. If we don't try to overcome our sins and accept Christs grace and mercy, then these same sins will greet us in hell, where our bondage to them will become eternal.
Sadly, my relative felt little compassion or sorrow for Mr.Sheen and he shook his head while scoffing at me because he simply couldn't understand why I would pity such a rich man.

Charlie,.... your face is gaunt and you have that -"death's a knocking" kind of look. We know in reality you have a meth mouth and I'm really scared for you. Can you say, "Michael Jackson?"
I will offer up my next migraine and some prayers for you- it's all I've got.
